It does not scale like I thought, I was think that it could analize it by lets say the first and second elements and do the rest, here is a sample of what I am sying:
my $array_ref_x = [

            [
            'ALICE WONDER',
            '9876543',
            '2009',
            '11.00',
            '711',
            '20',
            '0',
            '8',
            ],
          
            [
            'ALICE WONDER',
            '9876543',
            '2009',

            '2',
